Leadership & People Development:

You'll lead a high-performing, engaged team at our Auckland Distribution Centre, fostering a culture of accountability and empowerment. Developing talent, planning succession, and building trust will be key. You'll also guide regional branches indirectly on operational best practices.

Service Delivery & Customer Focus:

Champion a customer-centric culture that meets Service Level Agreements, ensuring accurate, on-time, and in-spec deliveries. You'll optimise order fulfilment, manage freight partnerships, and collaborate with regional branches to enhance service standards.

Health & Safety Leadership:

Safety is paramount. You'll oversee shared H&S responsibilities, ensure compliance with legislation and Steel & Tube policies, lead incident investigations, and foster a transparent safety culture across the site.

Continuous Improvement & Change:

Drive cost efficiencies and innovation without compromising customer experience. You'll embed corporate initiatives, lead change in a unionised environment, and optimise processes like inventory and quality management (ISO 9001:2015).

Inventory & Cost Management:

Maintain accurate stock records, reduce variances, and optimise freight and controllable costs. You'll forecast workflows, align resources, and ensure inventory policies are followed across Auckland and regional branches.

Essential Skills & Experience:

At least 7 years of Distribution Centre and warehouse management experience with multi-site, customer-focused operations. You're skilled in distribution principles, inventory management, and leading teams through change. A degree in Operations Management, Supply Chain, Engineering or other relevant field is required. Cultural fit, aligned with our values of United, Open, Trusted, Integrity, and Accountable, is critical.
